Book Reviews of Google Hacking for Penetration Testers

Book Review: Superb Book, great writing style and plenty of useful examples
Summary: 5 Stars

While Google is for most of us just a search engine, for hackers it is a great tool to gather information and present the attack vector and first of steps against your organization.

The opposite side of Google as a search engine is that a lot of networks and organizations out there have no idea what kind information (classified and potentially dangerous) is presented out on the internet and how data leakage is accomplished that way. This leakage give a significant amounts of password files, confidential information, and configuration data and so on that can be easily found with ingenius queries.

After you read Google Hacking, volume 2, the real power and potential danger of Google is clearly understood. Author Johnny Long does a superb job by presenting insight information on how -not so fiendly - people out there but also penetration testers can use this knowledge and easily harvest information that has been gathered by the Google engine. He's wirting is great and keeps me interested the whole book and besides that he gives away plenty of interesting examples on how to built your own query.

So really worth buying!

Summary of Google Hacking for Penetration Testers

Google, the most popular search engine worldwide, provides web surfers with an easy-to-use guide to the Internet, with web and image searches, language translation, and a range of features that make web navigation simple enough for even the novice user. What many users don?t realize is that the deceptively simple components that make Google so easy to use are the same features that generously unlock security flaws for the malicious hacker. Vulnerabilities in website security can be discovered through Google hacking, techniques applied to the search engine by computer criminals, identity thieves, and even terrorists to uncover secure information. This book beats Google hackers to the punch, equipping web administrators with penetration testing applications to ensure their site is invulnerable to a hacker?s search.
